| Amp upgrade for Thiel CS 3.7 By today's standards it is much better to choose a used Diablo 300 vs an old Krell 600, unless you absolutely need separates.Quality vs quantity. | |
| Gryphon Diablo 250 vs Hegel390 @greg_f Try to audition the Diablo 300, you will be surprised.It’s the type of integrated you can keep for a lifetime. | |
| Amp upgrade for Thiel CS 3.7 3.7s are not made for very large rooms, you loose all the bass.People with very large rooms will look at more suitable speakers for this size room. | |
| Amp upgrade for Thiel CS 3.7 No you don't need more power, taste is another thing. | |
| Gryphon Diablo 250 vs Hegel390 Hegel is nowhere near Gryphon quality. Hegel is midfi compared to Gryphon. | |
| Amp upgrade for Thiel CS 3.7 I've gone through most amps available on the market in the past few years and i came to the conclusion that the best one of them all for Thiel CS 3.7s is the Gryphon Diablo 300 by a wide margin.For any future Thiel CS 3.7 owner i've done the job f... | |
| Thiel Owners @jafant Why do you need two cd players for ? | |
| Thiel Owners @jafant Are you considering any streaming device for Qobuz or Tidal in the future or are you going to stick to your Accuphase CD player ? | |

| Thiel Owners Jadis I88 is also another good tube option. | |
| Thiel Owners Speaking of tubes i also did consider integrated tube amps to drive CS 3.7s, the ones i was looking at are the Allnic T-2000 25th and the VAC Sigma 170i.Both of this integrated could probably do the job at moderate volumes in medium size room. | |
| Thiel Owners Congrats @jafant | |
| Thiel Owners @yyzsantabarbara Ok well if you are not considering integrated forget about Gryphon, the separates are too expensive for Thiel owners IMO.Only Diablo 120 or 300 is worth considering for CS 3.7s owners. | |
| Thiel Owners @yyzsantabarbara I completely agree about Luxman being kind of too warmish and meaty.I 've heard the the M900-C900 combo several times and was never blowned away.Gryphon integrated are much more fun, it's very dynamic, transparent, fast, huge sla... | |
| Thiel Owners @yyzsantabarbara By musicality i mean organic, meat on the bone , engaging, the opposite of cold, thin and sibilant.This is the type of amp you need for 3.7s to sing.I would rather get the smallest Gryphon amp as opposed to Krell or Bryston for i... |
